It was Saturday night and Mrs. Srivastava was busy preparing dinner.
Suddenly she felt his hand, covering her eyes.
" Tch.. tang maat karo ", she removed his hand.
" Hmmm... ", he smoothed his hand from her neck to waist.
Then rested his chin on her shoulder, softly nuzzled her neck, making her shudder under his touch..
" Stop it ", she muttered.
" Unhuu "
Hisss.. hissss.. hiss..
Their moment get interrupted with a loud hissing sound of pressure cooker.
" Haato haato ", she pushed him back.
" Yeh pressure cooker humara pyar ka dushmaan hai "
" Kya! "
" Haan. Jab dekho humarein romance ke bich mai seeti marte hai.. Salunkhe sir ne diya tha kya? "
" Kuch bhi.. haan? "
" Khushbu toh bohot acchi aa rahe "
" Wanna taste? ", she raised her brows.
" Yeah ", he respond huskily and stepped even closer to her.
" Kya.. kya kar rahe ho? ", she was nervous.
Ting.. tong...The bell rang.
" Damn.. ", he gritted his teeth in frustration.
" Haha.. Awww ", she patted his cheeks.
Ting.. Ting.. Tong...
" Kaun ho sakhte hai? "
" Mera parcel ", he murmured and moved towards the door.
She started arranging the table. After a while he came back with a box. He was smiling.
" Kya hai yeh? "
" Donuts and Ice-cream ", he smiled big.
" Donuts! You know I avoid sweets "
" Then all are mine "
" Whaa.. ", her jaw dropped
" Haha "
" You are impossible ", she sighed.
" Areh.. what happened? "
" Nothing "
" Accha listen "
" Hmm? "

" Bahar? "
" Yeah "
" Abhijeet, last week hein toh gaye the na hum? "
" Haan toh "
" Haan toh? tumhe samajh nahi aa rahe kya? "
" Kya? "
" Yeh.. ", she poked his tummy.
" Ahemm "
" Don't you think you should start workout? "
" Mai.. mai "
" What mai mai? "
" Dekho Tarika.. "
" Pehle toh bahe milte the.. ab hug karu toh pettu bich mai aa jatay ", she complained.
" Itna zyada bhi nahi hai "
" Ho jayega.. Aisei chalta raha na end of the year Santa clause ban jawogey "
" Santa! "
" Aj toh Shalini bhi bol rahi thi...", she spoke undertone.
" Accha.. toh yeh baat hai. Apki friend ko toh detective hona chahiye tha.. itna kuch notice karte hai "
" Abhi.. "
" Thik hai.. Kar lunga diet.. kar lunga kya? Aj se, abhi se mai diet karunga "
" Kya bole jaa rahe ho? ", she spoke helplessly.
" Aj mai sirf salad khawunga "
" Oh, really? "
" Haan "
" Dekho Abhijeet, maine khane pe koi restriction nahi diya hai. Tumhe bas workout karne ko kaha "
" Haan, woh bhi kar lunga ", he grabbed the salad bowl.
" But this salad is not that nutritious! "
" Mai yahi khawunga.. ", he spoke babishly.
" Kitne ziddi ho tum "
" Hmm. Wah! bohot tasty salad hai "
" Haan haan... woh toh tumhare shakal se hein pata chal rahe mujhe ", she laughed.
" Very funny! "
" Thik hai toh yeh donuts aur ice - cream mai fridge pe rakh deti hoon. Daya ko de dunga "
" Daya ko! Kyun? Usse kyun? "
" Kyun ki tum diet pe ho naa? ", she smirked.
" Arghhh "
After dinner they went to sleep.
At midnight...
Beep.. beep.. beep..
An obnoxious beeping sound woke her up.
" Ahmmm.. Abhi dekho na kaha se aa rahe yeh awaaz ", she spoke in a sleepy tone.
Getting no answer she turned to face Abhijeet but he was not there.
" Abhi! ", she sat down straight.
Beep.. beep.. beep..
That continuous beeping sound grew louder and a sudden dish cracking sound made her heart pound. She was pretty sure it was coming from the kitchen.
" Kaun hai waha? ", she get out of the bed. Grabbed her gun and ran towards the kitchen.
Silence..
Her eyes got double in size seeing the scenario.
" Hahaha! ", she laughed out loudly.
There he was.. holding a bowl and wearing the most innocent look.
" Don't laugh ", he mewed.
" Haha.. oh, haha.. Wait lemme click your picture ", she was excited.
" Tarika "
" What? Hands up! You are under arrest " she showed him the gun.
" Arrest! "
" Haan.. Mere kitchen pe hamla karne ki jurm mai aur mere fridge se.. haha fridge se khana churane ki jurm mai "
" Mai toh bas.. woh mai.. "
" Yeh sab tum clean karogey samjhe. "
" Thik hai ", he made a face.
" Aww ", she pulled his cheeks.
" Mujhe bhook lag gaya tha.. "
" Iseliye bola tha.. Kha lo. Par nahi tumko toh salad khana tha.. mai diet pe hoon ", she mocked him.
" Tch.. Tarika "
" Hehe.. ", she giggled.
" Accha chalo tum baitho.. Ab yeh khana toh kharab ho gaya. Toh phir.

" Toh? ", he spoke.
" Ice-cream kha le? "
" Umm.. "
" Shut up ", she playfully hit him.
" Lekin iske baad you have to clean all these mess ", she handed him the Ice-cream bowl.
" Okay.. Tum baitho na "
" Yeah "
He was enjoying eating Ice-cream, she kept watching him.
" Tum bhi lo na "

" Accha one spoon ", he offered him a spoonful scoop from his bowl.
" Bas bas "
" I am sorry, Tarika. Woh oven ke awaaz se tumhari neend khul gayi .. "
" That's fine ", she grabbed his hand.
" Abhi, I have told you to start workout because I do care for you. Nothing else. ", she spoke.
